Abstract

Described is a method for logistic transport monitoring of an IoT device utilizing token generation for payload data for features and peripheral functionality associated with the IoT device being shipped between an origin location and a target location. The method include generating a pre-shipment token prior to loading of the IoT device onto a logistic transporter and regenerating a token subsequent to loading of the IoT device onto the logistic transporter, where a validated pre-shipment token and a matching regenerated token indicate a faultless operational status of the IoT device. The method includes iteratively regenerating tokens during the shipment of the IoT device, where a mismatch between an iteratively generated token and the regenerated token indicate an operational fault of the IoT device indicating the IoT device was damaged during the shipment between the origin location and the target location.
